A Word on Praise

Let’s take a trip in the way-back machine.

It’s 1981. Ronald Wilson Reagan is President. The Conservative Revolution has just begun. Millions of Americans have awakened to the idea that government is not the solution to their problems, but rather government is the problem.

Teachers, in an effort to spread this message, have their kids chant a poem:

Mmm, mmm, mmm
Ronald Wilson Reagan
He said we all must lend a hand
To make this Country strong again

Mmm, mmm, mmm
Ronald Wilson Reagan
He said﻿ we must be fair today
A right to live, a chance to play

Mmm, mmm, mmm
Ronald Wilson Reagan
He said we all must take a stand
Bringing freedom to all lands

Mmm, mmm, mmm
Ronald Wilson Reagan
He said red, yellow, black, or white,
Liberty for all is right
